Bulleted List of Major Events:
I find it funny how they consider Miss Robin handicapped because she can telepathically submit her thoughts. That, in my opinion, is like the complete opposite of a handicap. This novel really screws with your mind. - Elias Taoufik
1.Pg.38 "Wet? He's been in the rain somewhere. But i've seen the morning weather reports. No rain east of St. Louis. Then he must have jaunted further than that. But he's not supposed to be able. He's supposed to have lost all memory and ability to jaunte. He's malingering."
I don't see why there is a problem with him jaunting if he can do it and remember how to thats great right?. --Jameson Holsinger :)
Robin knew that he was in the rain somewhere and she knew that there was no rain east of S. Louis so that was proof that he jaunted somewhere further than that. I think the reason that him being able to jaunte is considered malingering is because he is suppossed to have lost all memory and not be able to jaunte and that alarmed Robin that he could- Mara Hesley
I would assume that it would be a good thing but, at this point in the story, no one is supposed to be able to do this. I truly don't think that he knew what he did because as we see, he lost all his memory. Therefore, I'm unsure if he knew he jaunted east of St. Louis to begin with. --Kelcie Heverly
Actually, Gully was pretending to not have any memory of who he was, or how to jaunte. Instead he was using that story as a cover up so that he could gather information on Vorga, and to gather funds in order to build himself a bomb to try to destroy it. He knew perfectly well what he was doing. -Christian Graham
Oh. Ok. That makes sense. Thanks Christian. -Kelcie Heverly
2. Page 35 & 36- Robin Wednesbury the tall, lovely Negro girl, was re-educating the patients (all head injuries who had lost the power to jaunte) to express stops, so to speak, of the public jaunte stages. “Location. Elevation. Situation,” Robin Wednesbury lectured. -Caitlin Conway
Response: I dont think that it is fair that jaunting may only be for the rich. For the location, a person actually has to be there and see the place before he can jaunte there. The poor dont have that opportunity unless they have been to a place they want to jaunte to. A person just can't visualize a place without actually being there in person.-Ashlee Carson
Response: I agree with Ashlee. It does sound jaunteing is only for the rich not the poor. If you can't see the place you can't jaunte there. The rich have seen more place than the poor because they have the money to see the places. The poor is limited to the places they have been which is very few.
-Katelyn Broughton
3. Page 40. "So now you know for sure," he began without preamble. He seized her arm in a pianful grip. "But you ain't gunna tell nobody in the hospital about me, Miss Robin. Nobody." "Let go of me!" Robin lashed him across the face. "Beast! Savage! Don't you dare touch me!"
At the beginning of this chapter I thought that Miss Robin was a nice person. But as the chapter progresses I am beginning to realize that she really is not and that she reall doesn't like Gully. She treats everyone so nice in public but when in private conversation, she's really mean.
I still think that Miss Robin's a nice person because he is the one that grabbed her painfully, in a way he deserved it. Miss Robin probably would have thought that anyway wether or not she said it. He did also threaten her family, which is just mean. Gully was making her life harder by getting lost all the time. If she was mean in public everyone would know it because they can hear her thoughts. I think she called him a savage because of his tattoos, the tattoos probably didnt help the situtation. Even if he didnt decide to get them he uses them to intemidate people. -Kathryn Yacobucci
4. Pg.37 "With a face like he's got, him, you can't blame him for hiding it, m'am. Up in the cerebral ward we call him Boogey." Why would the people from the other planet mark his face up? I would think that they would wait for his permission to do something like that. But then again with him passing out all the time it would be a bit hard to ask for his permission. But i know that i would be ticked off if someone did that to me. --Jameson Holsinger :)
Response: Well I think that "marking up his face" is just what these people do. They dont really care if they have permission from him. They just do it. I believe they made Gully one of them. -Ashlee Carson
Response 2: I don't think they really cared all too much on getting Gully's permission to mess with his face. They just wanted to mark it up for their own amusement. - Joel Redfoot
5. Pg. 41-"I'll kill Vorga filthy. And you won't stop me either, Miss Robin." He seems to have alot of angry towards anything that concerns Vorga. Then again I can't blame him for being mad, they left him there to die. Why would they do that? It is not like they were indanger at the time. They just left him there. I would be mad if someone left me to die just because they could. Who would'nt? Although he is taking some extreme measures just to get revenge, I mean of course you would be mad, but he got out of the situtation. He is willing to hurt kind people to just get revenge? It seems like he is becoming the evil person now not the Vorga. -Kathryn Yacobucci
Yeah, and though he has the right to be ticked off at them for just cruising by and not responding to his signals for help, don't you think he'd want answers first? Maybe there was a reason Vorga didn't come to help. Maybe it was abandoned or something just happened to still be in motion. But I supposed Gully's too ignorant to think logically. -Casey Pipetti
6. Pg 35 "She could broadcast her thoughts to the world , but could recieve nothing." I kinda feel bad for Miss Robin, that would be hard to live with. She has to be paying attention all the time, and yet she still cant control it. She just cant relax or else everyone would know what she is thinking. I wonder if if she feel asleep would people still be able to hear her dreams? You wouldnt be able to be say something that you probably didnt believe whole-heartly, because you would think that you actually ment. -Kathryn Yacobucci
A. I agree with you definetly, i find it extremely unfair to only be able to send thoughts and cant recieve them and never knowing who hears what. She's being kept from glamorous careers and left to jaunte teaching which could be bad as well because any wrong thought would be heard. -Mindy Hayton
I think the fact that she can only send thoughts and can't receive thoughts sounds really unfair. That must be really hard knowing that everyone can hear your thoughts but you can't hear anyone elses thoughts. Since everyone can hear Robin's thoughts, everyone probably heard what she just thought about Gully. I think this upset Gully and that is why he demands to meet her at her apartment so nobody else hears anymore of her thoughts about him having the ability to jaunte - Mara Hesley
7. Pg 40 "...I'm settling something, Miss Robin. I got a debt to pay her back." Can someone please explain what he's talking about because I'm clearly confused. -Kelcie Heverly
^ foyle is talking about settling with vorga. he wants revenge with vorga because he when he was stranded in space with his wreck of a space shuttle the vorga came right up to him as if about to rescue him after 6 months(?) and then continued to keep going in the direction of space. basically fole wants revenge because vorga knowingly ignored to save foyle. ~nicole dengler
8. Pg. 47 '"I will attend in prison." "In person!" Black Rod faltered. "But we cannont possibly fly to Vancouver in an hour, Presteign. We -" "I will jaunt," Presteign of Presteign snapped. Such was his agitation.' This quotation really shows how much they depend on jaunting. It is the center of their world, like cell phones and computers are the center of our world today. It really shows how our world is turning out to be and the advances in technology that will occur. Also, Presteign's true colors come out in this quotation. He is very angry and wants things done exactly his way. -Nicole Crossman
9. Robin Wednesbury accidently telesends her thoughts about Foyle "malingering" upset Foyle alot. He then basically threatens her to meet him at her apartment. She realizes that he already knows how to jaunte and that he never forgot how and can go farther than most jaunters. He threatens her to not stop him from trying to destroy the Vorga. I dont understand the big deal about it and why he has to threaten her life and her families when it is only a ship. What do you think?- Mindy Hayton
10. pg. 28 "your pulse. ninety eight point six" most scientific." I dont see how someones pulse makes you scientific. maybe because he just fainted or something from lack of air. i dont know, but that was just weird. the "scientific people" just seem very strange to me, and probably won't help him at all in a good way. -Haley Kline
^haley, i found this weird too. especially since its the human body temperature that is on average 98.6 not in fact their pulse. I agree that the scientific people were indeed very strange when they call their mate's gametes instead of husband and wife and they only marry to reproduce...very bizarre ~nicole dengler
11. On page 39 the people on the asteriod want to take him to the hospital and question him about some things. I think that these people are to caught up in just learning everything "science" that they have lost all sense of cavility among their peers and strangers.
John Benton
12. Pg. 41-"He threw her down on the couch. 'Nothing! (you can do about that)'" So he mentions earlier that he'll 'Kill Vorga and you! (Robin), so is it safe to say that Robin Wednesbury met her end when Foyle threw her down on the couch? He seemed pretty steamed, I think she's dead.........-Tim Galbraith
13. Pg 38. "...It's called "tattooing" and it's sort of forgotten, is all." Okay, so I'm getting the vibe that The Scientific People are the people of our present day just from that line. They could be more advanced though. I don't really know of any scientists of the present day that automatically have people who don't know each other "marry" one another and have to get married and have more kids like every other month. That's just a bit freaky. - Kaylee Goldsworthy =]
14. pg 35. She was a tall, lovely Negro girl, brilliant and cultivated, but handicapped by the fact that she was a telesend, a one-way telepath. She could broadcast her thoughts to the world, but could receive nothing. i think this is going to play a huge role in the book because everyone can hear what she is thinking but has no idea what they are thinking. i think this was be something very difficult to deal with. - Damian Lascoli "King Kong"
15. pg. 34. Jaunteing has really taken off since the Jaunte guy started doing it. this kinda reminds me of cloning. it was looked down upon, but then some people began to try it. its a crude comparison, i dont wanna offend anyone with it. G.Mill
Response: It's kinda like a hypocracy type deal. Once people realize it can be done, then they think its cool and they want to try it also. - Joel Redfoot
16. Pg. 44, " Olivia Presteign was a glorious albino. Her hair was white silk, her skin was white satin, her nails, her lips, and her eyes were coral. She was beautiful and blind in a wonderful way, for she could see in the infrared only, from 7,500 angstroms to one millimeter wavelengths. She saw heat waves, magnetic fields, radio waves, radar, sonar, and electromagnetic fields."
I think that this is a very important passage in the book because it shows that there is still beauty left in this world even though it was ruined by jaunting, as many people think. - The great Tyler Slippy
Tyler has a very promising point with this post over this quote. Even though over the course of the past several centuries, and problems have occurred due to the troubling of jaunts, that some people are still representatives of what the world used to be. Also, this reminds me of a movie with Ben Affleck, called Daredevil. In this movie, he suffers from being blind, but is able to see through vibrations off of objects in the area. -Cullen Schimminger
17. I might be missing something, but can someone explain to me why doesn't Gully just jaunt back home? Is he unable or does he just want revenge? Or am i completely missing the point? -Kelsey Baker
18. page 45: "As men climbed up the social ladder, they displayed their position by their refusal to jaunte. The newly adopted into a great commercial clan rode an expensive bicycle. A rising clansman drove a small sports car. The captain of a sept was transported in a chauffeur-driven antique from the old days, a vintage Bently or Cadillac or a towering Lagonda...." This passage struck me as interesting. I would imagine that once jaunting was discovered, the high-class commercial clan-type people would want to flaunt the fact that they can jaunte, it saves time, it's healthy for the enviornment because they are not burning up gas and using the natural resources or destroying the o-zone layer, it's cool(:, apparantly being able to jaunte 1,000 miles or so is a very admirable quality, and it's money efficient. I guess this situation is sort've like listening to music on the radio. When a new song comes out, everyone wants to hear it, listens to it for a couple of months, gets sick of it and usually goes back to their favorite songs, (or finds a new song) because if you listen to the same music all of the time, you get bored with it. New music seems to die out quickly, but songs from the 80's and 90's are still popular and listened to.
19. Page 45, "The head of the Presteign clan was a familiar sight to New York Jaunters. Iron gray, handsome, powerful, impeccably dressed and mannered in the old-fashioned style, Presteign of Presteign was the epitome of the socially elect, for he was so exalted in station that he employed coachmen, grooms, hostlers, stableboys, and horses to perform a function for him which ordinary mortals performed by jaunting." I think it's funny that jaunters can be classified by where they live, how they look, and their characteristics. If there were a set of jaunters from Pennsylvania, would they be classified by this? Would they wear camouflage in public, slick their hair, and live in Bulls Creek? This is very interesting. Also, agreeing with Kelsey, if Gully has the ability to jaunte, why doesn't he jaunte back home? Is it because he is trying to climb the social ladder with his refusal to jaunt as the New York Jaunters do? -Cullen Schimminger
20.Pg.44 "In the homes of the wealthy,the rooms of the female members were blind,without windows or doors,open only to the jaunting of intimate members of the family." I dont know how the women feel about that then but I for one would hate to be sheltered.I do understand the safety issues but I still wouldnt like that at all.-Kelsey Geesey
21. Pg 41 "I got something on everybody who could stop me before I kill Vorga... including you, Miss Robin." It seems like Gully is becoming crazy over this revenge thing with Vorga, but i don't blame him if in his situation of being trapped in space for 6 months, and not being rescued. -Kelsey Baker
22. Pg. 37 " We'll continue. Oh, dear, where is Mr. Foyle? He always seems to be missing." I didn't understand a lot in this section. How does she even know Foyle? and when did we even find out he got back after he took off from the Scientific People? I thought maybe that was just something that was infered that i didnt catch. any ideas or just help me get this? - Chynna Herman
23. On page 47 when they discuss about flying to Vancouver, it bothers me that they have to jaunte for every situation. I think it's kind of annoying. Sam Ellis
Yeah Same, I kind of get what you are saying. Doesnt make sense to my how some people jaunt as other use the same ways of transportation as we do now-a-days...Especially with all the rules they have with jaunting. Just makes more sense to get somewhere some other way.-Marissa Kosko-Blyler
24. I agree with Kelsey Geesey. I would probably be the same way if I had a chance to be rescued after six months trapped in space, but they just left me there. I would be trying to get revenge. - Sasha Cochran
25. Pg. 38 "Then how did Mr. Foyle acquire his face?" "Nobody knows, Miss Robin." So, if they're not familiar with the tattoed face then they've never seen these people who took Mr. Foyle in I'm assuming. Obviously their unique faces are not something you wouldn't notice about a community of people. -Casey Pipetti
26. Pg. 39 " They gone now, all. We got time. Ill meet you in your apartment". I do not understand why Gully would need to go to go to her apartment to talk to her family. All he wants is to get closer to getting revenge on Vorga. This seems to be out of the way for him, and not relevant. - Caden Terchanik
27. Pg. 36 For one thing was certain: you had to actually see a place to memorize it which meant you first had to pay for the transportation to get you there. Even 3-D photographs would not do the trick. I think this is interesting because it kind of describes what you have to do to jaunte. Its not like times now where you just get directions and drive to your destinantion. It is a very complicated process that could lead you to the wrong places if you jaunte wrong. It is important you know every detail of your destination in your mind. Melanie Brown
28. Pg. 43. "Tell Dagenham we've located the PyrE. He's engaged to get it...at all costs...through a man named Gully Foyle". I think that PyrE is some kind of advanced weapon because they say that it can change which way a battle goes. It is so advanced that there is very little in existence and, everyone is trying to get their hands on it. - Caden Terchanik
29. Ok, so I am completely confused on this chapter and even in the start of the 4th chapter. Like I dont understand how we jumped from Gully pushing the teacher on the couch to some guy named Presteign?? Like I am understanding now what they are doing like how Gully finally blows up Vorga and stuff but what does this Prestein guy and Gully have in common in the story? And I am very curious as to what happens with the Albino girl they mentioned.-Marissa Kosko-Blyler
Pg. 40: "Now i rot you, Vorga. I kil you, Vorga. I kill you filthy!" Gully is completely focused on getting revenge on Vorga even though everyone else is thinking he's talking crazy talk. - Joel Redfoot
I find it funny how they consider Miss Robin handicapped because she can telepathically submit her thoughts. That, in my opinion, is like the complete opposite of a handicap. This novel really screws with your mind. - Elias Taoufik

Iron gray, handsome, powerful, impeccably dressed and mannered in the old-fashioned style, Presteign of Presteign was the epitome of the socially elect, for he was so exalted in station that he employed coachmen, grooms, hostlers, stableboys, and horses to perform a function for him which ordinary mortals performed by jaunting." I think it's funny that jaunters can be classified by where they live, how they look, and their characteristics. If there were a set of jaunters from Pennsylvania, would they be classified by this? Would they wear camouflage in public, slick their hair, and live in Bulls Creek? This is very interesting. Also, agreeing with Kelsey, if Gully has the ability to jaunte, why doesn't he jaunte back home? Is it because he is trying to climb the social ladder with his refusal to jaunt as the New York Jaunters do? -Cullen Schimminger
20.Pg.44 "In the homes of the wealthy,the rooms of the female members were blind,without windows or doors,open only to the jaunting of intimate members of the family." I dont know how the women feel about that then but I for one would hate to be sheltered.I do understand the safety issues but I still wouldnt like that at all.-Kelsey Geesey
21. Pg 41 "I got something on everybody who could stop me before I kill Vorga... including you, Miss Robin." It seems like Gully is becoming crazy over this revenge thing with Vorga, but i don't blame him if in his situation of being trapped in space for 6 months, and not being rescued. -Kelsey Baker
22. Pg. 37 " We'll continue. Oh, dear, where is Mr. Foyle? He always seems to be missing." I didn't understand a lot in this section. How does she even know Foyle? and when did we even find out he got back after he took off from the Scientific People? I thought maybe that was just something that was infered that i didnt catch. any ideas or just help me get this? - Chynna Herman
23. On page 47 when they discuss about flying to Vancouver, it bothers me that they have to jaunte for every situation. I think it's kind of annoying. Sam Ellis
Yeah Same, I kind of get what you are saying. Doesnt make sense to my how some people jaunt as other use the same ways of transportation as we do now-a-days...Especially with all the rules they have with jaunting. Just makes more sense to get somewhere some other way.-Marissa Kosko-Blyler
24. I agree with Kelsey Geesey. I would probably be the same way if I had a chance to be rescued after six months trapped in space, but they just left me there. I would be trying to get revenge. - Sasha Cochran
25. Pg. 38 "Then how did Mr. Foyle acquire his face?" "Nobody knows, Miss Robin." So, if they're not familiar with the tattoed face then they've never seen these people who took Mr. Foyle in I'm assuming. Obviously their unique faces are not something you wouldn't notice about a community of people. -Casey Pipetti
26. Pg. 39 " They gone now, all. We got time. Ill meet you in your apartment". I do not understand why Gully would need to go to go to her apartment to talk to her family. All he wants is to get closer to getting revenge on Vorga. This seems to be out of the way for him, and not relevant. - Caden Terchanik
27. Pg. 36 For one thing was certain: you had to actually see a place to memorize it which meant you first had to pay for the transportation to get you there. Even 3-D photographs would not do the trick. I think this is interesting because it kind of describes what you have to do to jaunte. Its not like times now where you just get directions and drive to your destinantion. It is a very complicated process that could lead you to the wrong places if you jaunte wrong. It is important you know every detail of your destination in your mind. Melanie Brown
28. Pg. 43. "Tell Dagenham we've located the PyrE. He's engaged to get it...at all costs...through a man named Gully Foyle". I think that PyrE is some kind of advanced weapon because they say that it can change which way a battle goes. It is so advanced that there is very little in existence and, everyone is trying to get their hands on it. - Caden Terchanik
29. Ok, so I am completely confused on this chapter and even in the start of the 4th chapter. Like I dont understand how we jumped from Gully pushing the teacher on the couch to some guy named Presteign?? Like I am understanding now what they are doing like how Gully finally blows up Vorga and stuff but what does this Prestein guy and Gully have in common in the story? And I am very curious as to what happens with the Albino girl they mentioned.-Marissa Kosko-Blyler
Pg. 40: "Now i rot you, Vorga. I kil you, Vorga. I kill you filthy!" Gully is completely focused on getting revenge on Vorga even though everyone else is thinking he's talking crazy talk. - Joel Redfoot
